Spoken. Amongst The Giants. Chaotic Resemblance. All 3 are in concert in Sioux Falls at The Point Is To Serve Church on Monday October 2nd at 6:00 pm. The church is located at 506 N. Kiwanis Avenue. TheBlast.FM is a mouthpiece sponsor of the concert and we will be present with Blast gear and Blast Cards, including our new shiny car window stickers.
Kingdom Come Festival (Friday and Saturday, June 18th and 19th), 2021 is like two festivals in one, as (at least for now), KCF has absorbed the Capstone Music Festival and encapsulated into a side stage at the Kingdom Come Festival. (See what we did there?) (Previously, it was two separate Christian rock festivals in Indiana, spaced two hours and a week apart). The two fest are friendly with each other and working together as the body of Christ.
Well, this year…
KCF sees the the return of Disciple as a headliner and The Letter Black headlines as well.
Other Blast bands on the main stage include: The Protest, Chaotic Resemblance, Awaken, Behold The Beloved, Relent, Amongst The Giants, Attaboy, Zahna, We Are Vessel, and TJ Harris of Decyfer Down.
And on the Capstone Music stage: Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Grave Robber, The Persuaded, Theody and Firebrand.
The festival was a lot of fun last year and TheBlast.FM will be back again this year. Stop by our Blastin’ booth and meet us, get some free glossy Blast Cards and stickers and buy a Blast t-shirt.
The festival is at the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Reunion Grounds near Greentown, Indiana.

Collaborations and band member-sharing. There is a whole lot of both happening these days in Christian Rock, and a lot of it happened at the Kingdom Come Festival this month. Matt Baird showed up on stage to do It’s OK with Death Therapy; Marco Pera (of Amongst The Giants) played bass for Disciple; Chaotic Resemblance’s drummer John Jakway banged the skins in an emergency for Spoken; and any time you have multiple Rockfest Records bands present, the Rockfest fam comes together. Here is a snippet of Amongst The Giants in concert, with help from Zahna and The Persuaded: https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/732599020904851/
Disciple put on another amazing show, as they were the headliner Saturday night at the Kingdom Come Festival near Greentown, Indiana. There was an equipment malfunction early in the show, within the first 2 or 3 songs. Undaunted, lead singer Kevin Young did his ministry talk early in the show and encouraged people to stop being “hating keyboard warriors” online. He also revealed that the whole band works out together, and that as he is filling time, he is sharing things he doesn’t normally share with the audience. He also mentioned that they haven’t played a live show in person “Since October. That was another great band,” Kevin Young said. “Yes, it was!” our own Colin Cruz blurted out loudly without hesitation (man do we miss that band…yep, we still play them). Once the gear was back in working order, Disciple blasted through songs old and new Invisible, Dear X, Dead Militia, Cuff The Criminal, Panic Room were among those…as was their recently arranged medley of old Disciple hits. Here is the video of them performing Radical (you’ll see Marco Pera of Amongst The Giants playing bass…he does that for them whenever possible): https://www.facebook.com/TheBlastFM/videos/1393926340997759/

Capstone is a Covid-casualty. Yes, unfortunately, the Capstone Music Festival has been cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19 shutdowns in Indiana lasting into next month. The festival would have featured Amongst The Giants, Chaotic Resemblance, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh, Ignescent, Leper, Rusty Shipp and XL & DBD.
The festival also would have featured a number of bands played on The Implosion and The Blastozoic Era. Organizers say they will put together a new festival next year.
